Europe's First Mark Lettieri Signature PRS Fiore - Now This You’ve Got To See!

[@slickcross]

I have the Fiore Sugar Moon and let me tell you, it blows the Silver Sky and also other SSH strats out of the water. I have zero complaints about this guitar. It's surprisingly light as well.

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I love the chemistry between Lee and Pete. It really makes these videos enjoyable

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Yes I agree, the other guy who used to do it with the Capt. was irritating to say the least and no where near the level of Pete in feel and soul.

[@uelude]

@@Neil-Aspinall Yeah the annoyance of that other guy is just a distant memory and I can now watch Andersons videos again.

[@tarkenton3895]

They NEED to do a baritone version of this too. Mark's baritone songs are a big part of his sound.

[@valentinodania7956]

The baritone sound signature is from Bacci😉

[@joshboydguitar]

I just love how PRS keep coming up with new interesting combinations of pickups. Seems like an evolution / combination of the PRS 513 / Silversky! Amazing!

[@Lovell93]

I mean HSS has been done way before PRS lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm a PRS fanboy, but they didn't come up with this pickup combination!

[@daniellowry660]

​@tylerl7917 I think he was referring to the wiring allowing for the humbucker to be activated without being in first position

[@randib.588]

Not even 30 seconds into the intro and my heart is already being broken and put back together again 😂...rock on guys-rock on.

[@Kryoven]

If I’m not wrong, I think I counted 11 possible combinations out of it: -Bridge (HB) -Bridge (HB)~Middle -Middle -Middle~Neck -Neck -Bridge (HB)~Neck -Bridge (HB)~Middle~Neck -Bridge (Parallel SC’s) -Bridge (Parallel SC’s)~Middle -Bridge (Parallel SC’s)~Neck -Bridge (Parallel SC’s)~Middle~Neck Thanks for another great video! 😃

[@DeeneMuada]

these kind of intros are one of the reasons why i grab my guitar and start learning

[@generalruckus]

I know its a Fiore video, but the guitar Lee is holding in the beginning looks kick-ass.

[@thenut1212]

It’s a McCarty 594

[@SluggerStark]

McCarty 594's are indeed, very kick-ass!!

[@tonychen3368]

The SC McCarty 594.

[@SDisonYT]

I love having dozens of tone options on one guitar. It’s why the Seymour Duncan P-Rails w/ Triple Shot is my favorite setup on almost any guitar. Literally a Swiss Army knife for guitar tones.

[@jimmyparris9892]

At least I can figure out the triple shot set-up. This Fiore has me confused. I'd have to learn the manual.

[@SDisonYT]

@@jimmyparris9892 Great point. The Triple Shot setup is far more intuitive. You can glance at the switches and know what combination you have on. Using the knob combinations on the Fiore is far less obvious.

[@coppulor6500]

@@SDisonYT I have a 1988 studio model PRS. Its the rare HSS config like the Fiore. Anyway, I bought it used in 1990 ish and the only way to switch pickups was with the stupid rotary knob. Totally ridiculous for playing live. so, I had a guitar tech install a 5 way switch. didn't love having to do that to such a beautiful guitar but I got the damned thing to play, not look at, or hold value in a closet, so I never regretted it. Frustrating its taken PRS this long to add an HSS model to the line-up.

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: Thanks for the great presentation. The Fiore model has a great specification check list. I really like the features.

[@prstito]

The fiore is fantastic. But can we talk about the McCarty tone the Captain is getting in the intro 🤯🎉

[@sinnersdwarf7138]

when PRS show more love for Kramer than Gibson does 😂

[@jimmyparris9892]

I really need to know everything on Pete's current pedalboard. His tone has been giving me eargasms lately. No matter the guitar or amp.

I put my order in for a Fiore in Black Iris the day after it's launch. The ETA from my PRS Dealer is August. Those pickups steal the show

[@the_everything_ops]

PRS with Ibanez super strat vibe, I think we come in full circle in guitar trend. this was popular back then with shredder artist.

[@MarshallAmpMan]

Great review guys!!!

[@src248]

You can definitely feel the difference between a 9.5" and 10" radius, you aren't crazy!

[@valebliz]

Oh come on...

[@TimothyPage06]

​@@valebliz Remember that radius is used to calculate the size of a circle, and when applied to the guitar, the fretboard is just a tiny slice of that circle. This means that the bigger the circle is, the smaller of a slice that makes up the fretboard, and the less of a difference it makes. I doubt a human could tell the difference between 16" radius and 20" radius on touch alone, but below 10" the differences are pretty pronounced.

[@valebliz]

@@TimothyPage06 and we're still talking 0.5°. No, you're not going to feel it, you can hardly see it. I have both fenders with 9.5 radius and warmoth necks with 10-16 compound, in real world playing you can pretty much switch from one another hardly noticing it even high up the neck if you don't specifically look for it.

[@FuruHataNinzaburo-w8z]

@@valebliz if you can't feel the difference between 9.5 and 10 you have a bad sense of touch.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

So is the neck shape a bat style 50’s profile?

The Zamora chant that won polls was iirc "When you're sat in row-Z, and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora". Sung by his own Fulham fans. 🤣

[@almightyguitarnerd]

Roasted maple would be great!

[@justinrisen1929]

The Fiore is amazing. But can we plz just take a min to admire that purple finish on Lee's Silver Sky. If and when I do finally purchase a Silver Sky I want to do something very similar to mine. Damn that is a gorgeous guitar. Sounds amazing too btw.

[@Adventuresingearland]

That outro playing is lush. X

[@talkychris]

For over £2500 I do wish PRS would give us some roasted maple necks. Is that asking too much? I can get a Charvel for £800 with locking tuners, luminlay side dots and a roasted maple neck and the build is pretty impeccable.

I'm quite aware I'll never get this time back but if I had anything better to do i wouldn't be watching lol 🤦‍♂️ thanks for that Lee 😅 xx

[@ericbrewerguitar1499]

Sublime phrasing by Pete there. Hopefully that guitar goes home with him lol

[@thadlogan51]

I've played one of these several times and I like it... but I just don't get the high price tag. I get that it has a lot of switching options... but no flame top for that price. I think the ce 24 gives you more for your money...or the silver sky. I think for maybe $2000 it would make more sense. I think Ernie ball cutless gives you the same... and the sterling cutlass the Asian version for cheap. If they made an SE fire for less than $1,000 I would probably buy one...

[@mougabo]

wow that is a beautiful guitar...... OMG

[@mpactdesignmedia]

I just listened to 'Blockheads' - that was certainly tasty. Porcupine Tree vibe all over it...makes me miss that fantastic group. :-/

[@joea9608]

One of my favorite things about PRS over the years is that they never submitted to the pressure of making Strat & super Strat clones. I respect that they have their own unique design. I'm still struggling with the previous statement being obsolete.

[@nahu3lp]

It's just a brand man, come on. Even Gibson did superstrats

[@brettstokes4038]

I wouldn’t really say they submitted to the pressures of it, personally. Both Strat-like models they have (currently) are artist models, and it all started with John Mayer wanting to develop the next evolution of that Strat (which Fender refused to do.)

[@joea9608]

@@brettstokes4038 Fender has about 500 Strat versions and always adding more. I think it started with PRS giving John Mayer a much better deal on contract.

[@FuruHataNinzaburo-w8z]

The neck profile in my opinion is best described as a “pattern slim”. As far as the shape it’s pretty similar to the standard PRS pattern neck shape but the dimensions are a little more slim overall

[@teknomanning]

[@bobbya8622]

[@tonys.4657]

PRS needs to offer different neck profiles for their bolt on line up. IMO

[@donray8914]

Basically all the bolt models are signature guitars so I get why they don’t, but I def think they should start offering some bolt guitars as standard range non-signature instruments with no names attached to them so they could offer stuff like that.

For the money, I think this thing blows the Silver Sky away.

[@nevillecragg9066]

I have a SSky and I’m Not tempted in the least by a Fiore. The Sky for what it’s meant to do is astounding. Maybe more toggles for the money but the tone JM put into this is ridiculous. The neck carve is also perfection.

[@adammarshall978]

@@nevillecragg9066 I think the Silver Sky nails the sound of the 60s era strats that John loves, and sounds amazing doing it. But the Fiore has such a wider pallette which, for me, sounds so much more interesting across the board.

[@clydebillingsworth8574]

I mean... It's cool. But my G&L Comanche can do 88% of these things and it's way simpler on a switch than having all of the push/pull stuff. The splitting humbucker in the bridge is very cool though. That's a bit next level.
